Hoang and 105ers are the reason why we should get ability to ban at least few players from our matchmaking

105 is a game taunt.

It is a game taunt, but it's worth saying it is a taunt for giving AI players instructions, not exactly the same as one designed for human to human player interactions

Okay, I actually watched the rec for this one. I don't think Redi was being toxic initially, he was just stating his position in the game. However, saying 105 is clearly crossing the line and not finishing the game is also a bit weird. Just end the game and don't stoop to the level of the opponent.

I do think this topic touches on an important point though. It seems, especially at the high levels (2k+) we have a lot of players that seem to play on for ages despite being in a position that is clearly lost, I know when the game was active and lots were playing this frustrated me a lot also. One commenter suggested that because there was only a 1k score difference that the game was potentially close, but having watched the rec, that was only because of useless water score and the fact that Redi was trading eagles under the town center to end the game. Of course, it is up to the player and only the player when they resign, but I guarantee 99% of experts know that the position Darknoob was in was completely lost. Overall, however, I am genuinely impressed how both managed to behave so childishly.

To conclude, I think most have missed the real tragedy shown by this thread, the fact that arena players have to play cross. Hopefully, the next map pool will give more options for them. #justiceforclowns

I think the one caveat here is that Darknoob's playstyle is actually to cockroach the map, and hold under ridiculous pressure to come back and win the late game. T90 actually just posted a video of Darknoob coming back from a 3K score deficit as Slavs vs Portuguese by just cockroaching until he eventually raided / towered / survived and won

There is a reason that cockroaching on Arena when it looks very clearly over is called "pulling a darknoob"

keep game open and alt-tab, this is easy

You are not 2k3 and neither is darknoob. Shitty thread

It's fair to say 2k3 if you get up to that rating and stay there for awhile though.

Talking about ingame score and using the world "lead" is such a small penis conversation. god guys play game if you enjoy if not turn offline - its a game. very depressing mindgames

edit: posing with elo is so cringe
